    Result Comments from the lab: Results may support a diagnoses of Celiac Disease, but are not specific. IgG serologocial marker for Celiac Disease detected I think this is the most significant finding. The serological tests which were relied on before genetic (DNA) marker tests became available were quite good and correlated with Celiac Disease. I didn...

    The other responses were very good but I just wanted to add that celiac disease is a multigenetic disorder. Testing the DQ gene is more than 99% accurate for telling if a person has the predisposition to develop autoimmune celiac disease. Everybody has a DQ gene and inherits one from each parent. Each DQ gene has 2 parts, called allele 'a' and allele 'b'...

    I read a similar study several years ago. In that study the researchers found that 30% of Celiacs were 'hard core' smokers - more than 5 cigarettes a day. I think they concluded that smoking was in some way beneficial to Celiacs. Tobacco is used as a dewormer in horses and there is one alternative PhD researcher who had a theory that all autoimmune diseases...

    Since many of us Celiacs are left with intestinal problems even after going on a gluten-free diet this article would be informative. Three Keys to Healthy Bowel Movements Your bowel movements are excellent indicators of your overall health. Since food provides the fuel for energy production, it follows that a fully functional gastrointestinal tract is...

    I still have fluid retention after 4 years gluten-free. Since good kidney function is necessary to remove excess water from the body you might be helped by doing kidney cleanses. Some kinds of parasites cause water retention and people who do herbal parasite programs usually loose several pounds. I react to cow's milk with swollen ankles and legs so going...

    When I worked in medical labs coffee grounds in the feces or stomach contents always meant blood and the occult blood test was always positive. For a few years before I was diagnosed I would sometimes pass coffee grounds in my feces. I was bleeding in my upper intestine and when I would do gall bladder flushes I would pass more. The gluten free diet helped...

    I would stop the vitamins. I have better results taking pure individual supplements as mixtures all seem to contain something I am intolerant or sensitive to and it may not be gluten. I always check the label of a supplement or med to see if it is gluten free, if gluten is not listed at all on the label I dont take it. If Pamela's cookies have any gluten...

    ARCHIVED Neuro Symptoms

    Mari replied to Guava's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Find out which test was negative and let us know. None of the tests are 100% and there may be as much as 30% false negatives, even with the small intestine biopsy. I think this website has a page about tests and what they mean.

    If you want to go the next step and get rid of these occasional problems so you won't have fare-ups read about Clostridia in the intestinal tract. Drs will treat this with antibiotics if it gets bad but there are some alternative programs which work quite well. Two of the Clostridia which grow in our intestine and cause problems are C. dificile and C. Tetani...

    Kayle - Ghee is clarified butter and contains milk protein. I have an allergy to cow's milk and cannot tolerate even a tiny bit of butter. The spice turmeric may help cool down the inflamation in your gut - recepies and information online about that and other common antiinfalmatory herbs. Peppermint or Spearment tea will help - make it strong by boiling...

    Since you have most likely not completely healed from the damage to your small intestine and were being glutened you have picked up more harmful agents - organisms and polutants/toxins - than a normal person. It is best to deal with these before you develop chronic problems. What I would do would be to find a good program which treats parasites and improves...

    What's happening is that the food you eat is putrifying in your gut. This is caused by bacteria which are digesting the protein in your food. There are various bacteria which do this and indicates that your intestinal bacteria are unbalanced. If this happened after you ate dairy the bacteria is most likely an enteric toxin producing organism from milk. Pasturized...

    I used to get canker sores, sore mouth and had white plaque on my tongue. The canker sores were usually in one place and very painful. I would also get white sores in my nostrils, usually after dental appointments. I have read that the white plaques are common in Celiacs and with me they disappeared after I did herbal parasite programs. The canker sores persisted...

    I have found several things I can do. With me it is usually that my neck or upper spine is slightly out of line or my neck muscles are too tight and are affecting the flow of blood to my head. First I press on the muscles which hold up my head, firmly and on both sides until the muscles are relaxed. Then, while sitting up straight, I put the sides of my...

    ARCHIVED Joint Pain

    Mari replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have gotten joint pains - usually bilateral - left and right joint - after being glutened as the autoimmune reaction gets going. I learned to use ace bandages which both supported the joint and helped reduce the swelling. When I was first going gluten-free the swelling and pain was really bad and since I am intolerant to anti-inflamatory meds including...

    I was able to eat grain-free using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I find this diet satisfying - my staple foods were vegetables, winter squash, meats and poultry and found a source of organic, gluten-free goat's milk yogurt. There is a recepie book available. Using this diet I have been able to add back some small amounts of grains, mostly rice but sometimes...

    I decided to have the test for the DQ markers at Enterolab instead of having the biopsy. It cost about $200 four years ago and I have not regretted spending the money. I have read that Dr. Fine sends out the samples for DNA markers to a reference lab (I think it's the US National Blood Bank lab but you can check it out on the website). I would suspect that...

    Check out Dr. Fines CV at www.finerhealth.com/About/CV. He has published extensively in the field of gastroenterology. I read some time ago that he is preparing to publish on his more recent research but have not seen it yet.

    When I had the blood tests done the anti-gliadin was elevated but the other test were negative and it also showed an allergy to cow's milk. Within a few days of starting the gluten-free diet I felt so much relieved and better that I did not want to eat gluten again. I read online that some experts were saying the endoscopy biopsy wasn't always necessary and...

    Several years ago a woman in the Army who had celiac disease wrote in. She had been deployed to Afganistan or Iraq to train Afgan/Iraqui soldiers out away from any city and was trying to live of the army diet and was having increasing problems. I think she was an officer and did not want her problem known to the army. gluten-free foods were not available...

    I have read that sometimes a manganese deficiency can cause this. Taking manganese helped one one of my male friends.

    As I understand your problem when you eat certain foods, probably mostly carbohydrates, the bacteria/yeasts in your stomach and small intestine immedialely begin fermenting the food and the product you took stopped this and allowed the food to be digested normally. Unless you have an allergy, the gluten reaction occurs 3 to 6 hours after eating - it is a...

    Although moderate drinking can be very enjoyable we have to remember that it is toxic to the liver. If you have been a heavy drinker or have never taken supplements to reduce the toxins in your body in the past you might have some residual damage or a toxin buildup in the liver causing you symptoms after being alcohol free for some time. Fortunately the liver...

    Sludgy bile and low bile pool are what the practitioner was most likely referring to. I read a number of messages about this at the Liver Flush Support Forum at Curezone and realized that it might be part of my digestion problem. I did some searches on the internet and found out that we need to have a good bile pool available when we eat. Apparently Drs treat...

    You may have developed conjestion in your gall system which has increased lately and is causing symptoms. This is a common problems with celiacs. Many of us do prorgrams which include gall bladder flushes, Curezone has a good forum on this - Liver Flush Support Forum. As I learned recently candida is very hard to control and intestinal problems common...
